Chapter 62: The play has begun
Outside of Concubine Yu, the hottest person in the palace is undoubtedly Concubine Xiao Shu.
The jade concubine is favored, but has no heirs. Concubine Xiao Shu has a prince, but her favor is no longer the favor she had when she was young. The two of them are incompatible, but even those who are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder dare not treat either of them slowly.
Concubine Yu is young and has a good mind.
Concubine Xiao Shu has the prince as a bargaining chip, so she has her back to the queen.
So when she learned that Concubine Xiao Shufei once wanted to give her niece to Lu Xiaowen as a wife, and stealing chickens and rice, she was very cordial when she saw He Shaoguang for the first time.
The two of them almost stepped into Fengyi Palace back and forth.
Of course, there was a stalemate at the gate of Fengyi Palace for a while. In the end, Concubine Yu ridiculed Concubine Xiao Shu for being older and let her go first.
Concubine Xiao Shuran smiled lightly, and her words of counterattack pierced people's hearts: "Sister Yufei is right, this palace is older than you, and she gave birth to five princes, so it is appropriate for her sister to respect her." ”
Concubine Yu looked at Concubine Xiao's amorous back, snorted coldly, and also held the maid's hand and followed.
In addition to the queen, Concubine Xiao Shufei has the highest position in the whole palace, and the concubines and wives also have to salute her.
Since he saluted Concubine Xiao Shu, he couldn't leave Concubine Yu.
Concubine Xiao Shu slowly walked to the first position of the queen's hand and sat down, which was specially vacated for her.
Stretching out her slender hand, Concubine Xiao Shufei wore golden-orange armor with gems on it: "Don't be formal, get up." ”
didn't embarrass anyone, but took a special look at Mrs. Lu's side, and saw Xu Ruyun and He Shaoguang behind her.
If it weren't for her, Yan'er would not have hurriedly married the eldest prince as a concubine.
Concubine Xiao Shufei's eyes were ruthless, and her face was like a spring breeze: "Second Mrs. Lu, look at her a blessed one." ”
What "blessing"?
He Shaoguang didn't know anything about Xiao Yan at all, and he didn't know this concubine in gorgeous clothes, but he only heard Concubine Xiao Shufei shouting when everyone asked for peace.
At this moment, He Shaoguang showed just the right amount of panic and surprise on his face: "The lady concubine is the blessed one. ”
Concubine Xiao thought that she had played a deterrent role, waved her hand, and did not want to talk to her again.
Old Madam Lu was worried, today's night banquet in the palace, Concubine Xiao Shu won't make things difficult for her daughter-in-law in order to get angry, right?
If she finds an opportunity today, He Shaoguang will also become the laughing stock of the people in the capital.
The key is that Shaoguang doesn't know about this and doesn't defend against Concubine Xiao.
At this time, there was no chance to mention it to her, because everyone had come, the time had come, and the queen wanted to take everyone to the Queen Mother's Yongfu Palace.
The mother and daughter of the Chen family met the queen's guard of honor just now at the gate of Fengyi Palace, and seeing that they were late, the queen was not angry, but smiled and said kindly: "Just in time, we are going to Yongfu Palace together to greet the queen mother." ”
The mother and daughter of the Chen family had a slight mess of hair because they were in a hurry, and after listening to the queen's words, Mrs. Chen was a little worried about whether the queen would be unhappy with their lateness, and Chen Yuexian felt embarrassed.
The queen mother obviously forgot about the two of them, and only remembered that they were not there when they met.
She was annoyed that she was late, and she complained that no one valued them, so she asked her to wait a while.
They walked at the end of the line, and Chen Yuexian was depressed.
The Queen Mother loves to watch dramas, and she will let the opera troupe perform during the New Year's holidays, and the palace has specially raised a group of people, just because the Queen Mother wants to watch it at any time.
"This is General Lu's new wife, right?"
Whether it is the queen mother, or the queen, or even well-informed people such as Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Yu, although they all know that it is the old mainland Ruqing who inherits the position of the Duke of the Guogong Mansion, but the emperor really values only Lu Xiaowen, the second eldest of the Lu family.
Lu Ruqing's position as the prince of the country is reasonable, but it is not very important, Lu Xiaowen's merits are first-class.
The Queen Mother, as the emperor's hand, narrowed her eyes when she saw He Shaoguang, and praised Mrs. Lu: "Looking at it, it's a blessed child." He is also well-behaved. ”
He Shaoguang's head is about to sweat, these people have to praise her for being blessed when they see one, right?
"The army is about to return to Korea, good boy. Let your newlywed suffer from this parting, can you be wronged? ”
The Queen Mother looked very kind, just like the elderly woman next door. But He Shaoguang remembered her identity and hurriedly said he didn't dare.
"If the husband is appreciated by the saint, there is no way to repay him. What kind of preferential treatment do we enjoy when we receive it? Now that the DPRK and China need it, how can there be any reason not to help? Don't say that she is a husband, and the courtiers only hate themselves as women and can't go to the battlefield to serve the court. ”
Drawing cakes for leaders, He Shaoguang is very good at it.
The Queen Mother and the Queen were very satisfied, and praised: "It is really rare to know the general situation at such a young age. ”
The Queen Mother didn't have a good memory, and wondered: "Which family are you from?" ”
He Shaoguang is neither humble nor arrogant: "My father's Hanlin Academy revised He Jingsong. ”
The queen mother didn't know the name very well, but the queen had heard it: "It's the tanhua of the saint who just ascended the throne, and it seems to be well learned." ”
But he didn't mention it, and he bluntly said that he had offended the saint.
"Good, good, the He family style is good."
Concubine Xiao Shu lazily spoke: "If Second Lady Lu wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, it is not without precedent, isn't General Wu's daughter an example?" ”
He Shaoguang was modest: "General Xiao Wu is young and promising, and his martial arts are outstanding, which is not comparable to a courtier's wife." ”
"Shirk, it can be seen that you are insincere in what you just said." Concubine Xiao sneered, her armor shining in the sun, as if her tone was cold and gorgeous.
Nonsense, who is sincere in saying this? Could it be that she really wants to rush to the front line?
He Shaoguang shouted in his heart, he didn't understand what kind of character Concubine Xiao Shu was, he clearly saw her for the first time, where did he offend her?
Old Madam Lu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cope with it, so she thought about opening her mouth to help round the field.
"Concubine Niangniang, the saint has raised soldiers for a thousand days, and I am invincible to the soldiers, where do we really need weak women who are powerless to go to the battlefield?"
He Shaoguang said sincerely.
There were some things that He Shaoguang couldn't say, and Concubine Yu was also happy to pour oil: "If it is all the scene where I am waiting to meet the enemy, what kind of situation is it?" Didn't the enemy come to the door? General Lu won the battle again, what did my sister Ann think? It was like a joke in a tone, but the words were pressing.
Concubine Xiao Shu glared at Concubine Yu, and before she could say anything, the Queen Mother would not see the two arguing in front of the wife, and came out to play fifty boards each: "What should be said and what should not be said?" Why are you getting more and more confused! Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu said a few words and remembered their identity. ”
Concubine Shu was angry in her heart, and she didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the limelight shifted to the concubine, Mrs. Lu whispered a few words to He Shaoguang: "Be cautious of Concubine Shu, say more to her." ”
In a hurry, I didn't have time to elaborate on the cause and effect.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was Concubine Shu deliberately provoking a thorn, and it is not He Shaoguang's business.
